Achieving Peggy Carter's look from Captain America: The First Avenger


I don't know about you, but I really like Peggy Carter's look in Captain America: The First Avenger {2011} -- even if her look isn't historically accurate. Since around this time of year I'm usually in my my dressing vintage mood, I thought why not make tutorials on how I get that vintage look for different eras. Now, my looks aren't 100% vintage accurate, they are more a blend of vintage & modern. I do try my best to be accurate, but I still take creative liberty with my looks to make them more workable for me and with what I own.



If you do to the YouTube page for the tutorial, you will see a list of everything I use to achieve the look. Oh, before I forget. Back in the 1940s Peggy's hair would have never been down while she was in uniform, as hair wasn't supposed to touch the collar. Instead Peggy's hair would have been in a up-do, since I was copying the look in the film I didn't go with the historical accurate look.

If you enjoyed this tutorial, what look/era would you like me to copy next? It could be a character from a TV Show, or Movie if you want.

  1. Hi Ashley,

    I love your hair and makeup in the video. Vintage/modern together is a great combination! I would love to see you do a couple of Ann Marie/Marlo Thomas tutorials/outfit posts.

  4. I love this! :D You really got her hair down perfectly. I wonder if something like that would work with long hair? I love Peggy's red lipstick. :)

    God bless,
    Joy :)

  5. Could you do Susan from any of the Chronicles of Narnia movies? I love those so much. Actually, pretty much any female character from those movies would work. Thanks! ;)

  6. Great tutorial! Could you do one specifically on finger waves? I'm thinking a variation on Lady Edith's hair from Downton Abbey, Season 3, that works on medium length hair? Thanks!

  7. Fabulous job, Ashley! I especially love how you did the make-up, hair, and the outfit! Awesome!
    I really can't think of any suggestions right now for knock-off movie styling... Maybe just a simple, everyday 50s or 60s styling would be fun! I would especially like those :)

  11. Wonderful video Ashley!! :) It's so nice to have a modest fashion you tuber to watch.
    I'd like to see you do a reproduction of Debbie Reynolds hair and make up in this picture. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001666/ But no pressure whatsoever!
    I think it would be beautiful on you!
    Also I wanted to tell you that the way you did your eyes in this video looks really pretty on you!
    Blessings
